Perhaps there may be some in " Overlander's Photos " post.
Rules were then, if it was made in Australia, that's what you bought unless there was good reason.
Freighter and probably others were making them at the time, including dry pans.
Towed a 38 foot Freighter spread bogie flat top late 1970's, had been a road train trailer. About 1977 some
were extending trailers to 40 feet and even converting suspensions to triaxles.

Thanks for the tip to have a look at the "Overlander's Photos" post, that's a chance for some more information.
